The Curie family is the family with the most Nobel Prizes. Marie Curie won two Nobel prizes in physics and chemistry.

Her husband Pierre Curie won a Nobel in physics. Their daughter Irène Joliot-Curie won a Nobel prize in chemistry.

When they exhumed her bones to be reburied with her husband, they did it in full radiation protective gear. They expected her bones to be saturated with radium. Her bones were not radioactive. The radiation that gave her cancer was from the thousand of X-Rays she administered during the First World War. She saved countless lives and pioneered X-Ray technology.
